This paper presents an analysis of the multiplicity distributions of charged particles produced inZ0 hadronic decays in the DELPHI detector. It is based on a sample of 25364 events. The average multiplicity is
Charged particle multiplicity distribution for the raw data in full phase space.
Charged particle multiplicity distribution for full phase space. Errors include systematics. A 2 pct correction for excess electrons from photon conversions is not included. The first two points, at N=2 and 4, were not measured but taken from the Lund PS model.
Charged particle multiplicity distribution for single hemisphere. Errors include systematics. A 2 pct correction for excess electrons from photon conversions is not included.
We present the charged-particle multiplicity distributions for e+e− annihilation at center-of-mass energies from 50 to 61.4 GeV. The results are based on a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 30 pb−1 obtained with the AMY detector at the KEK storage ring TRISTAN. The charged-particle multiplicity distributions deviate significantly from the modified Poisson and pair Poisson distributions, but follow Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling and are well reproduced by the LUND parton-shower model.
Fully corrected charged particle multiplicity distributions. Errors for n=2 and 4 are systematic only since these were derived using the LUND 6.3 Monte Carlo normalized to the observations at higher n values.
